Torn seatbelt..How to fix?

Hello All. Any ideas on how to fix a torn, or should I say eaten seatbelt? My dog ate my seatbelt in half yesterday and now I have to fix this. It is not in my 67 Vert. Lane but in my 97 S-10. I know that this is not a Fairlane specific but I look to you guys as my primary source of car info. Please if you have any ideas besides just replacing the entire belt, send them. Thanks again in advance.
Later.

Sorry man, you'll have to replace it. It's a safety thing. Hopefully there's a latemodel truck parts yard near you.

Stroud Safety makes 5 point harnessed, fire suits and 'chutes for race cars here in OKC. He says that brand new webbing in the belts loose 1/2 of their strength their first hour in UV light. It ends up being a bell curve, but this is why the NHRA wants you to change your belts out every two years.





That being said, you might be able to repair it with dog leather. hehe
